It enjoyed a triumphant return to terrestrial television last Monday evening.

But while ITV show Cold Feet’s affecting brand of contemporary drama has won high praise, its second episode suffered a comparatively poor reaction across social media after fans picked up on a surprising geographical gaffe.

Viewers of the much loved show took to Twitter in their droves after leading character Angela wrongly referred to Manchester, where much of Cold Feet is based, as England’s second largest city.
